Trying something new

Recently I came across this quote from Henry David Thoreau: “Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.” I immediately resonated with the sentiment and it spurred me to do something I’ve been thinking about for some time, create a blog. And so, I’m going to try something new. Running Along a Narrow and Crooked Path will feature reflections on faith, spirituality, nature, current events and whatever might come to mind. Most of these will be no more than ruminations conceived while out on a run, usually a country road or some narrow and crooked path. (Besides “thinking about something,” the word rumination can also mean the action of chewing the cud, so that seems appropriate.)

So, please join me along the narrow and crooked paths of life. Feel free to add your own comments and ruminations. I can’t think of a better way to go through life except with love and reverence. Love for God, love for oneself, and love for one’s neighbor combined with an awe (reverence) for the mystery of the universe around us.
